3. Accounts

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must be at least 16 years old to create an account. If you believe your account has been compromised, contact us immediately.

4. Researcher responsibilities

You are solely responsible for the experiments you create and the data you collect. This includes obtaining appropriate ethical approval, providing adequate consent information to participants, and complying with the data protection laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

7. Service availability

We aim to keep PsychLab.IO available at all times but cannot guarantee uninterrupted access. The platform is provided in an early beta phase; features may change, and we recommend that data intended for published research is independently verified and backed up.
